Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my mother, a former Miss North Carolina winner, that I was several weeks pregnant. She immediately burst into tears and hugged me. She kept saying, "Thank god, thank god." At first I was relieved. Then she said, "I thought you were just getting fat." FML
Today, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML
Today, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML
Today, my daughter and her boyfriend excitedly told me that after months of trying they are finally pregnant and that I'm going to be a grandmother. This would be great news if they weren't 15. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I broke the news to my parents that we're having a baby. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "It's probably not yours." FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, my son had a child to spite his ex and ex-stepson. He was holding his daughter in his arms in the delivery room when he told me that now I can stop visiting his ex-stepson and pretending he’s my real grandchild, because now I have a real granddaughter. I’m speechless. FML
Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML
Today, my daughter announced that she's pregnant. I'm going to be a 37 year-old grandmother. FML

Your daughter should cheer up! You can't choose your mother but she was chosen by you :)

Your mom freaking sucks. You should make her apologize to your daughter.

My response to that is: "Well, until you act like a REAL grandma, you don't have to see EITHER of them OR me!"

Aw I hope you comforted your daughter and told her that your mom didn't mean it. I agree with one of the top comments, where parents can't pick conceived kids, but they can pick adopted! She was wanted all along :)

That sucks OP. My sister has a different biological father than me but he met my mum and took her in and raised her since she was two. When I was born my sister was 4. My maternal grandmother decided to tell my sister (a boldfaced lie) that my dad would never love her as much as me because I was his "real" daughter. I get bitchy grandparents, believe me. Just tell your daughter that your mother knows nothing and that you love her the same. There will be trouble down the road but just make sure to reassure her constantly :)

There is no acceptable reason for this. Your mom can now yell with joy that she is officially a "real" bitch.

I've never understood that. An adopted child is just as legitimate. What an asshoke grandma.

Are you telling me she's fake and not real because that's what it seems like
